I know you don't want to, but the only person who can come close to accurately diagnosing you is your psychiatrist, so if you really do want to know, that's the route you're going to have to take. It's a perfectly legitimate question, I don't think she would judge you for it. You're also being put on heavy duty medications, you certainly have a right to know why, what symptoms they're supposed to be treating, what kind of treatment outcome she is looking for, and more importantly, you are looking for.
Good luck.
